Maitland Woods Boardwalk

Here,

ever so quietly,

I have adored:

turtles

muskrats

bunnies

hummingbirds

cardinals

chickadees

and every sort of bee.

But when I've asked them to stay,

they've only hurried away.

 

 

These Bridges & Fences are my exploration into the interplay of the objects we've built with the natural world that holds them.

 

Here, Nature is depicted by loosely-applied, textural, riotous colour. The colour is the first thing: it arrests the attention and makes us want to linger. But the texture is the other thing: it requires that a lot of work be put into painting anything of value atop it. I really had to watch my step.
